* FishOutOfWater: Even moreso than James when he first arrived, Richard, being an academic with little sentimental attachment to animals, is at odds with the sentimental Darrowby folk and, to a lesser extent, with the others in Skeldale.

He is particularly harsh to the Crabtree family when he tells them their "rookie mistake" of not keeping their newly purchased cow, now sick, separate from the herd, not realizing how upsetting the situation is for them. He is usually apologetic after his error is pointed out.

But as a veterinarian, he is absolutely ''superb'' -- steady, wise, knowledgeable, experienced, utterly professional, and always gentle and soothing with his patients. For all his quirks, he is also seen more than once advising James on some aspect of veterinary medicine as a wise mentor figure, offering sage advice and timeless wisdom about the exigencies of the profession and showing true compassion to his young colleague.
